OF Lord Iddes]eigh has excited sympathy
everywhere. Newspapers extol him, and
some of them make very uncomplimentary
comments on the treatment the dead man

leigh was murdered. 1t is no crime to be
young man in a hurry. and it is no crime
to push q man from the stool on which you
believe you would make better figure.

he was q joke, not one OF whom was

Welsh Musical union concluded an ex-
ceedingly interesting ard successful three
days session at this village yesterday,
conducted throughout by Prof. John P.
Jones, of Chicago, who is considered the
ablest Welsh leader and composer in the
Unit ed States. A feature at the closing
concert was grand chorus Of 200 voices.
Miss Grace Jones, of Chicago, recently

out the session and concert. Mrs. Julia

THE FARMERS INSTITUTES
DEPENDED.

Madison Democrat: A number of the
Democratic newspapers of the state were
led into attacks upon the farmers insti-
tute through dozen or more spiteful and
mischieYous questions sent out in print
ed circular by man living in the south
ern part of the state who lacked the
courage to put his name to his production.
1t conveyed as many falsehoods AS SEN
fences, aud its author knew it when be
sent it out. Some of the newspapers who
made it the basis of attaCts on the instl-
tutes are old enough to know better than
TO give any consideration or weight to a
circular of that nature whose author was
too cowardly to own it.
The institutes, like any other meeting
of farmers, at which matters pertaining
to agriculture are discussed, must of ne
cessity do good There are few men so
wise that they cannot learn something
from almost any other man. These in
stltuteS have the best talent IN agrlcul-
tural work at every one of them. It is
not reasonable to believe that the dis
cussiops of two or three days to crowded
houses would not give many new ideas OF
farming 10 those who hear the discussions.
The insnuation that Democrats were not
invited to take part in the meetings as
also that the discussions were political
are simply malicious falsehoods. The
meanest kind of a falsehood is that which
attempts to discredit, injure or destroy
any organized effort for the general pub
Lie good. Anything that assumes to be a
public good, as the institutes do, shoulo
be opposed, if at all, with open manly
argument, to convince the judgment o
men that the assumption is false one.
